Cuba Reaffirms Safety and Stability for Canadian Travellers
February 3, 2026 Billy Walker
The Cuba Tourist Board in Toronto is addressing recent media reports by reassuring Canadian travellers and industry partners that tourism remains a top national priority, with all resort operations functioning normally and securely for the 2025/2026 winter season.
Significant Growth in Canadian Arrivals
The Canadian market remains Cuba’s primary source of tourism. For the first quarter of the winter season (November 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026), arrivals from Canada have grown by 15% year-over-year, representing an increase of more than 30,000 additional visitors compared to the same period last year.
Operational Readiness and Guaranteed Supplies
The Ministry of Tourism took proactive measures throughout the fall to ensure a seamless winter peak. Supplies of fuel, food, and essential goods were secured well in advance through strategic reserves and the approval of new importing companies. Furthermore, innovative marketing partnerships with wholesalers and the private sector have bolstered the supply chain.
“Tourism operations are progressing normally, with all services functioning as usual in resort areas,” stated Gihana Galindo, Director of the Cuba Tourist Board in Toronto. “We are incredibly grateful to our valued travel partners and the Canadian public for their continued support. The positive feedback from returning visitors is the driving force behind our double-digit growth.”
Energy Autonomy and Infrastructure
Cuba’s hotel infrastructure maintains full energy autonomy to ensure an uninterrupted guest experience. All major resorts are equipped with independent power systems and backup generators, with fuel supplies strictly reserved and secured for their continuous operation.
Expanded Flight Capacity from Atlantic Canada
Air operations remain fully guaranteed, including the launch of several new routes from Atlantic Canada this week:
· Moncton: Varadero, Cayo Coco, and Holguín
· Fredericton: Cayo Coco and Santa Clara
· Halifax: Santa Clara
Cuba remains committed to providing pristine beaches, a sunny, warm climate, and world-class hospitality that Canadians have enjoyed for decades.
